Ratings for the Power Sector Development Technical Assistance Project were as follows: outcome was unsatisfactory, risk to development outcomes was high, Bank performance was moderately satisfactory, and Borrower performance was unsatisfactory. Some lessons learned included: public-private partnership model can efficiently deliver large-scale and dispersed off-grid electricity services, by deploying public funding through private sector stakeholders. Flexibility to adapt to market conditions and signals are the hallmarks of this model, while quality assurance and after-sales and maintenance service mechanisms are a necessity for acceptance by beneficiaries. One-off technical assistance or credit support operations should be highly strategic, selective and practical in supporting policy and institutional issues of a complex nature. The PSD technical assistance project took on an ambitious agenda covering power sector policies, regulation, industry structure and private sector participation, and struggled to get traction on any of these matters. Achieving broader social and economic outcomes from electricity access provision will primarily depend upon the pursuit of a least cost path for grid expansion backed by appropriate sector policies, complemented by off-grid electricity in the interim or permanently as needed.
